THE YEAR ROUNDED OUT.
En- Real Estate Circles--CISsing Notes
..ESuYing and Building.

The last week of 1886 was a remarkable
one in Minneapolis real estate circles, the
transfers that were filed in the Office of the
register of deeds aggregating over one
million of dollars. The previous week was
also large one, but came nowhere near
being as large as the last one. For the
whole year the transfers aggregated nearly
$37, 100000, being IS, 600. 900 more than
in 1888, which was the largest year Mime
apolis real estate men had hitherto seen.
Of course the closing of the year had much
to do with the large number OF deeds. as all
having negotiations pending were anxious
to close matters and start in with clear
books on January l. 1887. The following
table shows the number of deeds filed each

A Young Indians Self Torture.

Muzzah, promising young Sioux Indian,
who Is one of Buffalo Bills attractions. re-
ceiyed word the other morning of the death
OF his brother at Pine Ridge agency, Dakota
and he began TO mourn his loss i'm true Indian
fashion. lie first uttered a prolonged series
OF yellS, shr1eks and groans that brought all
the police in the neighborhood to the garden
and aroused all the inmates OF that extensive
! structure who were taking a morning sleep
They all knew what the matter was and only
the uninitiated in Indian customs gathered
around him to watch the proceedings AS the
fervor OF his grief increased he drew his long
bowie knife from its sheath and began slash
ing his barred breast, arms and legs with il.
While the blood from half dozen wounds
was courSing down his body and forming red
pools at his feet, he sat down and with the
same bloody weapon began whiting out
wooden pins about the thickness and length
of lead pencil, which he sharpened to a
point. During the time that it took him to
manufacture half a dozen of these he kent
up the loud, dismal bowling, expanding in
volume as the pain increased and the pools of
blood grew larger
w hen the skewerS were ready he caught
the lleshy part of one leg between the thumb /.
ana the fingers of the left hand and drove the |
wooden PIN into the flesh until the pin pro- /
truded. He did the same to each limb. and /
also drove pin through either cheek These
he allowed to remain for two hours, during
which time none dared TO speak to him or at
tempt to interfere. Among the Indians it is
on pain of instant death that one Indian
speaks to another who is in mourning" until
after the third day. After the Indian drew
out the pins he rolled himself from head to
foot in his blanket and crawled into one of
the managers, where he lay all day without
food or drink, moaning and grooming and
breaking out into wild shriels as
be thought Of his loss. The blood stained
wooden pins were exhibited to many visitors
% the garden, and there were many applca-
ions for them to be kept as nementoes. -

HANDSOME MRS. KATE CHASE.
Pom Picture OF tho Lady who Ruled
Washington Society Fifteen Years Ago.


Some days ago an afternoon reception was
given by the wife and daughters of Mr. A. b.
Mullett, formerly supervising architect Of
the treasury. Among the ladies receiving
with the hostess was Mrs. Kate Chase, as she
now calls berself-the once famous and al
ways beautiful Kitty Chase. 1t was the first
timo she had appeared at any social gathering
in Washington for many years, and this
woman, who fifteen years ago ruled Wash
ington society as it never was ruled before
or since, was not personally known to one
fourth Of the guests present Beside her stood
her daughter Ethel-a slim, indefinite kind of
girl, possibly 10 be pretty. but never to be
as handsome as her mother.
As for Mrs. Kate Chase, her beauty is of
that noble sort that age cannot wther Lor
custom stale. Besides, she is a woman who
has passed through great storms without let
ting them agitate her unduly. She is now
nearly 10 years old, but she looks ten years
younger. She has lost the first brilliancy Of
her youthful complexion, but she can't help
being superb and distinguished In the day
of her power she was intensely feared and adj
mired, but never inspired or seemed to try
TO inspire affection, so that the animosity

her for the first time in many years assisting
at party was Of a critical kind. No doubt
this suited aer quite as well, because pity is
something she always dsdained.
She Is no longer rich, and inherits Chief |
Justice Chases financial liabilities in a marked
degree. The sum of what she has now is the |
small competence left by her father who /
lived and died poor man. Whatever claim /
she has upon Canonchet is worth nothing
now, and this woman who could order twenty
two gowns with all accessories from Paris
not many years ago, and repeat the order
whenever she felt like it, appeared the other
day in the simplest kind of black costume.
But it was nevertheless elegant and appro-
pirate, because it couldn't be anything else
with Kitty Chase as its wearer. She always
had a perfect genius for clothes, and her
striking beauty gained effect from the style
IN which she dressed. Washington Letter

THE LEGISLATURE.

II is to be hoped that the members O
the Legislature will at once upon thei
assembling get rid of the idea that they
are pledged" to dead thing. The Rid
dleberger settlement" is no settlement
You cannot settle debt by the act of the
debtor alone Ii takes two to make that
bargain and if there is anything in facts
and figures, then we ought TO see at a
glance the inevitable disaster incurred in
| forcing the bogus settlement when the
creditors have refused ii and the
United States Supreme Court has
virtually killed it. If one set of
men are bent on obstructive legis-
lation, it is doubly incumbent on sensi-
bic and patriotic men in the Legislature
to adopt a practical and dignifed course
and act upon the policy of trlth. 1t is
twenty years too late to try notification
and it is not manly to dodge, and sneak,
and misrepresent.
The regulators have already been
beaten and the first trick taken with the
lowest card in the pack, and that was
their own silly belief that Malone would
come out for reputation and sweep the
State"
Malone has said emphatically that he
denounces reputation.
The Democratic party of Virginia
would be beaten by an overwhelming ma.
iority if it even put itself now on the
alleged Riddleberger settlement with the
threat of reputation as an alternative.
Our advice to the regulators is to get
n out of the cold They cannot take
heir idea to Malone, and if they could
orce it on the Democrats they would. in
he end, be frozen out. The door is omen
or compromise. The bondholders have
aid that, representing almost all the
ebt, they are ready to open negotiations
n the basis of being allowed only the
urplus revenue.

There are no labor troubles at present
except the advertisement of the men who
are represented in Puck as whipping poor
laborers to the idea Of putting their affairs
in the hands of tyrants, where their only
thought is power for themselves; but we
wish to keep this idea always before the
public, that an organization for self pro-
lection and advancement is always
right if it will confne itself to
the limits of justice and not at
tempt to bulldoze other people out
of their rights. Mr.. Henry George may
write himself into paralysis, but this
